Hiroshi Tanahashi aimed to return a little more prestige to the IWGP Intercontinental Championship.
Tanahashi, the current title holder, noted this weekend that he'd planned on fixing the tattered belt. Tetsuya Naito -- the former champion -- went out of his way to do anything he could to destroy the New Japan Pro Wrestling championship.

Fightful.com will have live coverage of this weekend's G1 specials, including a post-show wrap up podcast on Sunday night. Tanahashi takes on former DX member Billy Gunn during Saturday's show.
